Family Picnic Part 2

Every year we have a large group shot in front of our stone gazebo.
We center the over 65 year olds in chairs and we collect around them. It
awesome comparing pictures from over the years seeing how our family grew, who
made the trek up and who has passed. It’s a great wordless definition of
family, accept you for who you are, tolerate you, warm your heart but drive you
nuts at the same time. Yes, we are an interesting bunch, but we wouldn’t have
it any other way!

Here are a few from years past.

This year’s shot

The Montecalvo Elders........

.........from here our family grew with love, tears, prayers and everything
in between! This picture holds so much, its from a few years back, half have passed
but we carry them in our hearts everyday and it shows us we better strive to be
our best.
